We have some foot rests being made for the bar also, should tie in the island and raised bar pretty well. Sam is making those after the holiday

Millscale is whats on the sheet surface, the cut edge is what I was talking about. Problem is if you don't remove it prior to painting it will flake off with the paint later. Millscale not so much....

Yep, unless the parts are cut with a special laser using a special gas mix the cut edge is left with a thin oxide layer that nothing sticks to.

That mixture is 100% straight nitrogen

My garage just got real small

One week in the house list of things to fix:

Master shower seamless glass has a chip
Shower door handle is loose, toilet closet was missing insulation in attic (fixed)

All exterior door thresholds need adjusted

Exterior rain gutters need plumbed away from house foundation.

Garage doors need further trim or weather stripping. Exterior seal is not enough.

Kitchen exhaust hood has a wind issue.

Laundry room/ cold storage room needs block filler, spray foam, door needs door knob.

Otherwise the home has a comfortable temperature that doesn’t fluctuate much in the cold, the lighting is nice even though the switches need changed as the order in the junction box is goofy to me.

HD had racks on sale so I got three, I wish this mess was behind a closed cabinet door of some sort but I don’t see that happening

The enclosed trailer does fit in the garage but I would rather it stay outside and leave me with lots of room for activities in the garage

I don’t have any issue moving it or getting it in nice and close on the wall side. I am thinking of putting my moto trailer and Jetta inside the trailer and that way everything fits inside the garage and I eliminate two other spots. Trailer inception. Trailers inside trailers kinda.

I guess that motorized dolly would allow me to pull the tongue in first and leave the back door to be opened when the garage door is open. Than if for some reason I needed the other car out I could just pull it out. Hum

Now using that manual one with a winch might work.

I can get you a very gently used one for less than a 1/4 of that price....

Bob Smith · « **Reply #520 on:** November 25, 2018, 11:22:06 PM »

Well Dave, go out and try to move that trailer even an inch by hand. Remember it is uphill into the garage. Power something will be needed, and if you load it up power for sure will be needed. Take Shawn up on the slightly used one......

It’s not mine, this has been in clubhouse where my shop is for last couple months. Another tenant must own it, call the number. If I can assist in shipping or give it a once over let me know.

Just tell her the trailer won’t be sitting outside like an eyesore..... my wife would do it!

Boss showed up at 6 and said I have a dump trailer full of top soil. You unload it it’s yours. So full the hydraulics wouldn’t do the dumping. So shoved out half the trailer and spread it all six inches or so in the front yard

Than got the moto trailer out of the garage and inside the big trailer

You probably know this already, but there is a clear powdercoat that would keep the natural look and still give a great protection
